Dan’s life experience, education, and professional relationships have produced a clinical style that believes that every person’s life is worth a novel. That no individual is a lost cause. The inherent value of an individual is rich, expansive, and eternal. Dan believes that the problems we experience in life and the mental health challenges that we endure can be mitigated and alleviated by sound clinical intervention, as well as enhanced spiritual living. The combination of understanding these two approaches, and how effective they work together, is Dan’s greatest skill.

In 2005 he co-founded a creative agency called Advent Creative which set the stage for future endeavors. In 2009 he and a few friends founded Fight the New Drug, a youth-oriented campaign to raise awareness of the harmful effects of pornography.

Since then their nonprofit has impacted tens of thousands of teenagers across the world through school presentations, viral videos, and educational materials. Their successes have been featured on ABC Nightline, Dr. Drew, CNN, National Public Radio (NPR), and others.

Mary Kay was inspired by all that social media has to offer young people. She recognized that the voice of youth is often overshadowed on adult-intended networks, and she also saw an opportunity to help parents strengthen their digital literacy skills. Therefore, Mary Kay and a talented team have dedicated their efforts to providing solutions for families through their work at Yoursphere Media, Inc.

After founding Yoursphere Media, Inc.,Yoursphere was created with the direct input and involvement of young people around the world. Yoursphere authentically represents the voices, interests, talents and aspirations of young people. This global community is a platform that allows youth to create, connect and share their thoughts, ideas, social interactions, friendships and interests with the world through “spheres”. As a result, Yoursphere has become a social platform for youth brands including Skechers and Simon & Schuster titles.

Yoursphere for Parents helps bridge the digital literacy gap between parents and their children by providing how-to’s, tools and information that empower parents to help their families have a healthy and positive online experience.

Yoursphere Media’s education nonprofit, The Yoursphere Media Foundation and Coalition for Internet Safety Education and Reform orFCISER, engages community educators and industry leaders in empowering schools and families with healthy digital solutions. In its first initiative, FCISER established the “I Choose” campaign which works to end bullying by offering classroom kits to schools that challenge students to stop, think and remember that bullying is a choice and their choices make a difference.

Mary Kay has been profiled on CNN, BBC, E!, Fox & Friends, Lifetime TV, ABC 20/20 and has been a contributor to ABC News.

Shine, Dr. Laura.com, Wellness.com and many other family-focused websites as the go-to children’s social media and digital safety expert for millions of parents.

All couples have conflicts. The difference between happy and unhappy couples is whether they have a healthy process of repair. Everett specializes in helping couples develop that repair process. The way many couples argue leaves them feeling frustrated, distant, and unfulfilled instead of feeling resolved and reconnected. Eventually they stop talking because it just turns into a fight. Approaching couples from an attachment perspective he helps couples experience the closeness and connection they desire. The process entails identifying their negative patterns, stop blaming each other and learn how to find more effective ways to respond to each other.

Sex Addiction Therapist in Mesa and Gilbert, Arizona

Everett has worked a lot with individuals and couples dealing with sexual issues including pornography, affairs, online behaviors, and other problematic sexual behaviors. For the last 13 years he has worked in a group practice that specializes in treating such behaviors. He received training from Patrick Carnes and is a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist (CSAT).

In addition, he works with couples dealing with physical intimacy issues in their marriage which often creates a lot of frustration and distance.

Everett has a unique focus in working with men who are often skeptical about therapy. Often men will use work, alcohol, sex, pornography, money, gambling, or other compulsive/addictive behaviors to deal with feelings of emptiness or disconnection. These behaviors can cause serious problems in their marriage. He helps couples connect to each other instead of escaping to unhealthy behaviors that drive them further apart.
